What is Social Knowledge?
15
Our definition:
“Continuous dialogue on open connected digital platforms between people and organisations
based around content, ideas and subject matter.”
What is Social Knowledge?
16
Social media is quickly becoming a digital platform of choice to share knowledge. The sharing and collaboration of knowledge is the new movement of knowledge economy where people are being driven by the assumption that surrounding people possess more knowledge about the situation or subject. The more people are connected to the content, the more likely it is relevant to them. Hence the term, social knowledge.
What is Social Knowledge?
Social Media is not going away and it is not only for the young. The fastest growing social media users are women over the age of 55 years old.
17
The Social Knowledge Economy
18
• Content Creation is still relevant and the social knowledge economy relies on them even more so
• However the publishing and sharing of content is expected to be free as well as the ability to share it with as many people as possible.
• Now it is regarded that the more people you share your content with, the more credible you are. The KPIs are so obvious among the share links that transparency in your work is more important than ever before.
